Techpong

In 2014, I launched TechPong, a pingpong tournament for a cause, with Steven Davis (Chimp) and Sarah McCredie (Unbounce). We had an audacious goal of creating a large, substantial charitable impact on Vancouver while engaging Vancouver’s tech community.

Since its inaugural debut 4 years ago, the charity ping pong tournament has raised over $250,000 for a variety of causes including Vancouver’s downtown east side, the Syrian refugee crisis and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education.

Motionball Marathon of Sport

Motionball Marathon of Sport is a fun day of athletic competition where Motionball supporters compete alongside Special Olympics athletes in a variety of sports. Leading up to the day, teams raise money and awareness for Special Olympians across Canada.

As a an athlete myself, I believe sport teaches you so many valuable life lessons: teamwork, confidence, perseverance and strength. Despite the challenges that Special Olympics athletes face every day, it is incredibly inspiring to see their positivity, determination and confidence.

This will be my third year taking part in Motionball Marathon of Sport. I love this cause because it’s about integration, participation and raising awareness. And that’s what makes it so special for everyone involved.
